We talked a little bit about radios last night, and in doing a little research it seems pretty simple. If anyone has an FRS radio and headset, I'll be bringing a set and we can choose a common channel. Obviously this is optional, just might be fun to be able to [strike]annoy[/strike] chat while we ride. Or at the very least, communicate.

The link above shows a headset for $15 and a set of two radios for $25. Or more for either if you're so inclined. It's a standard, so you can get them almost anywhere. (Yeah, yeah, they're not the highest quality devices, but we'll be close to one another so range shouldn't be an issue)

If somebody else gets a pair I'll gladly use their second radio - I'll even buy a headset. But I'm not going to plunk down cash for the radios as I can't imagine anything other than this ride when I'd use it.

I have two radio's, but they don't have that VOX option. I could still bring them along just to listen to the chatter if other's decide to purchase the radios? It might be good to have so that we can signal or speak to the person in front to move to a single file line or pull over when car's are starting to pile up behind us ?
